I have 19 hens and bought the medium size box based on the description (up to 20 hens) provided by the company. I have chickens laying outside the box due to limited space. I'm not sure how the company came up with size versus birds formula but it has proven to be inaccurate in my situation. I will have to build another nesting box.

I gave 4 large boxes but decided to try the new extended medium box. I love it! Gives the chickens an extra foot in the coop. Thanks for coming up with the new size

This roll out box is a game changer. After messing around for two years trying many different box designs, I opted to spend the $ on two 48" boxes. Immediately the change was dramatic, clean eggs, birds stopped eating the eggs, collection of the eggs is much easier. I highly recommend these boxes and am ordering 2 more for additional coops we are building now!

Bottom is all open to light so I have had to modify it so a piece of rubber can lay in the bottom of the box to block out the light. When I did that the chickens started laying in there once it got dark

I like the nest box a lot. It was easy to put together. it was easy to install. I wanted to access the nest box from the outside. However, I ran into two problems. One is that the lid for the roll out was in the way of the plywood. Two there is a small gap underneath the rollout that small predators could get through. I would like to see something that address these two issues.

It took a while for the chickens to get used to the new boxes(I bought two) but they are using it now and the eggs roll down into front. Thank you for the innovative idea.

Excellent! Chickens immediately began to use this box! Easy to construct too. It also was simple to change from rear to front facing collection.

I was able to cut to size and swap out for cleaning! Clever.

Great product. I wasted so much time cleaning dirty eggs but now they are basically fully clean. Well constructed. Worth every dollar.

Now, to get my hens to lay in it!

Great investment for my flock!

Very good quality and very easy to assemble.

Sleek design works very well!

Chickens hate the mat, eggs don't roll out!

My chickens are not old enough to use it yet, but it is very well built. It was easy to put together and installation was even easier.

Pricey option, especially given the cost of the perch popper add on, but it's well pieced together. We'll if the girls think it's as slick as I do.

I called your representative She gave me a few options because my hens didn’t want to use this box I took the end out of their current nesting box and mounted it against this nesting box It took a couple of days for them to venture inside out of curiosity I also close their other nesting option Only one egg on the first day Two the next then all 5 shortly thereafter So…It worked and now is a success. Very happy Thank you.

Best box I ever bought

We got this nest box because our chickens were laying and eating the eggs. We have about 50 hens and were getting 2 to 3 eggs a day. We've been using it for a week and we collect at least 16 eggs a day. Plus They're all clean!!!

This is a tough review because nest box would get four stars and that is only because there’s a piece of angle that runs in the egg channel that the eggs get caught on so my hens can still eat them when that happens, I can just reach in and bend it upwards to open the channel up so not the end of the world, our problem is with the Perch Popper it’s been in a month and worked great for 2 weeks and now has a mind of its own and works approximately 3 to 4 days a week so when it doesn’t work, we’re picking our eggs off the floor or the hens are eating them. I have not reached out to let them know our experience, but thought it was right to let customers know what problems they could face, it’s a pretty expensive item to be having problems this soon. So the Popper would get 2 Stars . We are thinking about getting the automatic door opener but we’re not sure after this problem with the electronics.

NOT AT ALL RELIABLE. SELLER IS HARD TO WORK WITH. UNIT DID NOT FIT MY METAL THREE NEST BOX. SELLER DIDN'T CARE. VERY DISAPPOINTING WITH NO SOLUTION. MONEY WASTED. THEY ARGUE AFTER THE FACT THE UNIT ONLY FITS A CERTAIN BRAND NEST BOX AND WILL ONLY CONSIDER A RETURNED UNIT IN '' MINT'' CONDITION. I DOUBT THIS SELLER HAS EVER ISSUED A REFUND. ALSO, THE UNIT I PURCHASED WILL NOT HOLD THE HOUR RELEASE PROGRAMMING WHICH MAKES IT TOTALLY WORTHLESS. THEY SHOULD NOT IN BUSINESS. I SUSPECT THIS IS WHY THEY DON'T SELL ON AMAZON. MY UNIT IS HEADED FOR THE TRASH AND I LOSE MY $160 PAYMENT. REALLY A SCAM SELLER.

My chickens took to this new nesting box within 24 hours. I love how the eggs are kept away from them. I no longer have dirty eggs or cracked eggs. Definitely worth it.

Unfortunately this wasn't money well spent to solve our chickens who were eating their own eggs. Not only won't the hens walk on the hard plastic mats, but they won't lay in them, no individual next boxes for privacy which I guess they like, but if you don't put the entire thing in shade, it heats up so hot you cant touch or you will burn your fingers. This seems not to be for backyard owners but for industrial farms.

We use this in our nest boxes and love that it is easy to clean just by a brush and water hose. Superb company and quality products and service.

WE LOVE YOUR NESTING BOX WE ALREADY HAVE ONE AND THE HENS WERE FIGHING OVER IT SO THAT IS WHY WE HAD TO GET ANOTHER ONE TO SATISFY OUR LADIES!!!!! THEY ONLY LAY IN YOUR NESTING BOX. IT IS A GREAT PRODUCT AND WE LOVE IT!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

Love the roll away box design. No more dirty eggs. The hens took to it right away.

Well made, hardware provided is high quality and no issues with putting it together. Stays clean, eggs roll away safely, hens made a fuss and then used it the very first day. No more hens eating eggs or dirty eggs. Sits just fine as a stand-alone unit. Wish I had bought this sooner honestly. Will it ever pay for itself? Probably not but it’s clean and sturdy and makes my life easier so what more can I ask.

I’m happy! Easy to set up! Chickens were just staring to lay so no transition issues. They stepped right in. The roll out works super well. A couple of the birds are laying dime size first eggs and they have a tendency not to roll but that’s not a design flaw on Best Nests part. I’m impressed! Thanks for a great product!,

Absolutely best money we invested! The hens love it!

Absolute garbage. I've tried EVERYTHING even remotely possible from the list of things to try, often in combination, and my hens just refuse to use the box. Customer service was zero help, and guess what, once you put it outside you can't return it and get refund. What a racket. Oh, and now I've got chickens laying everywhere, the eggs are trashed, and I'm struggling to have eggs to sell. I've actually LOST MONEY by trying to train the chickens to use it, and the whole point was to save money by having fewer broken or dirty eggs. I don't know how this thing gets any sort of review above a one star rating or how the company can stay in business. Don't buy this box!

The starter kit with the 4’ nest box, perch popper, food and water bins, and auto coop door are working fantastic on my new coop. The hens love all of it.

Simple to put together, well constructed and works great!

Outstanding feeder, no waste and saves precious time!

A few of our hens started to eat their eggs and we needed a solution fast. The Best Nest Box was easy to assemble, mount and our hens quickly learned to lay in the nest box. Such a simple design that works as advertised. Couldn't be happier we purchased the Best Nest Box for our girls!

Heavier than I expected well made. My girls are still getting used to it though, for some reason they still want to lay on the floor. Its going to take time. Overall happy with purchase.

Very easy to put together and install nice and roomy! I love your product! This is the second nest box I have bought and I highly recommend them!

Easy to assemble. Our girls were very apprehensive the first day, but using a couple of fake eggs, one was enticed into the box. Since then 4 others have followed. Our broody hen has returned to the flock, albeit the others are not happy to include her. We don’t need the perch on the front so I am removing it since I left it up one day and 3 girls nicely laid eggs in the straw right in front of it. My bad. Clean eggs and they are not eating them for the win!

Love this nest box. It installed and went together easy. Great addition to my coop. Can’t wait for the girls to start laying in it.

This is literally the best chicken nest box I've ever seen, and this is coming from someone that has had in the past 2 other different chicken nest boxes from Amazon and they lasted a couple of weeks only.

A total waste of money. Just build your birds a wooden box with some straw.

I bought 3 48" nesting boxes , my chickens will not use them,I tried all the tips to get them to lay in them, no success, I had eggs everywhere but in them. For me it was a waste of money.. i wish they would of worked out.other than my issues, the boxes are nice, ans well build , wish my chickens would of used them

Awesome Boxes!!!!! The best money can buy!!

Easy to put together, well made, the ladies laid their eggs immediately in their new box. The eggs were nice and clean. We placed the egg rollouts for collection outside of the coop .

Great product. Easy to assemble. Chickens are adapting to it and the eggs are staying clean.

The product itself is extremely well made. However my hens refuse to use it. Have even tried putting a bit of chopped straw in it to make it feel a little more familiar. Not interested at all.

In an effort to make caring for my birds and collecting eggs easier I knew I wanted a roll out box.... Best Nest Box fits that need perfectly.. It's a well made and well designed product. Shipped in a well packed flat box and only takes about 30 minutes to assemble. Made in the USA and built to last for many years with no maintenance other than cleaning the mat when dirty. This is a quality product that is well designed.

The mat does not hold up. I've had it in the box one week and already they have scratched a hole in the mat. disappointed....

This door does not open or close consistently and the string makes it impossible to use on a mobile coop. Any deviation from the sides and it won't work. I got mine to fully close and open a handful of times before the device stopped working. Save your money and use a Run Chicken brand door.

Very nice product! Much more substantial than I expected. Easy to put together and install. I couldn’t be happier.

My hens took to it the first day. We love gathering clean eggs every day. The back roll out works perfectly with our chicken house. Thanks guys

This is the best nest box ever made! We absolutely LOVE this next box and so so our chickens! The eggs are always clean and we never have broken eggs. Great workmanship and heavy built. Easy to put together too!

I am throughly pleased with the roll a way nest. It does exactly as advertised. I’m loving it.

We love it, works great. No more messy dirty eggs.

Easy to install solid construction.

Somehow, this nesting option blows away the more traditional 2 story nesting option - like by multiples of 10! Picture to follow:)

We've had these 4 years. Definitely cannot support 45 chickens... Like... Not even close... They compete for the limited space and sometimes, because there are no dividers, some hens harass other hens. Roll away function works fine if you have it leveled correctly. Our old flock had trouble getting used to it but our new flock has only known these boxes so they want to lay in them but they just compete for the space! But these boxes are so expensive we can't afford to buy the two more we probably need... We have just over 50 hens and two of these 48" "Best Nest Boxes" and it is always too full during laying times. Not trying to be salty but honestly, for the price, I wish we had just gone with traditional boxes.

Chicken haven't started laying. We love the idea.

Awesome in every way; easy to put together, easy to install, birds love it and easy to collect CLEAN eggs

Love it

I am updating my review. My first model received did not do well with my type of feed. When the owners found out, they adjusted a new feeder to fit my chickens needs and I have been using the last 4 weeks. It works great! Keeps food dry and the squirrels living by my chicken coop can't reach the feeders or climb the slanted legs. Saving tons on chicken feed not being spilled or wasted. Between all of our feeders, our girls are very happy.

Prompt shipping, well manufactured components, precise assembly instructions and a well designed product. Who could ask for more.

The only issue I have with it is the hens want to lay under the box instead of inside of the box. We need to find a way to fix this.,

Chickens don’t like it

Simple assembly and installation

I’m new to chickens but this nest box makes collecting the eggs the easiest part of the day. Assembly was very simple and straightforward using the included instructions. They even supplied extra fasteners incase I lost one while putting the box together. It did take my chickens a little while to learn how to use it and get comfortable with it, but now all but one hen have the hang of it and use it. I like how easy it is to clean and how solid it is when mounted to the wall. Great nest box for a small flock or even a large scale operation if you want clean eggs.

I had to remove one of the flaps to get a few of my girls to use the new box, but after I did that they are all laying beautifully clean eggs! LOVE my new nesting box! I will be investing in a second one. <3

Love this so far, however my chickens have not started laying eggs yet and I will not let them in the box due to roosting at night inside the box. the roost bar timer is an awesome feature which I have installed and it works great. The unit is well made and will last for years.

Amazing easy to assemble Thank you

Good quality, however I’m still trying to get my hens to use it

Best nest box yet!!!! Was able to assemble in about 30 minutes or less. About to buy two more!!

Great box, works as advertised. No broken eggs, I would definitely recommend this.

Good investment! Now my wife isn’t afraid to pick eggs!

Initial thoughts are we couldn’t be happier. Girls have already transitioned into it, took a little swaying at first. All that’s left is to see if it stands the test of time???? We shall see.

Arrived on time and seems to be really good quality. Only complaint was that 2 pieces were bent and I had to straighten them myself. ***UPDATE: Customer service was incredibly responsive and issued me a partial refund/discount without even asking for one. 10/10 will order from them again.

I love it!! When I first installed it, I didn't realize I had the side rails lower than the bottom of door frame so I couldn't get the door to calibrate correctly. But once I figured that out and stopped the rails right at bottom of door frame it works perfectly. It opens itself in the morning and closes and locks itself at night. I'm very happy with my purchase!!

Pricy. I’ve installed it for a week and my chickens have not used it. Also the price for the perch popper is a complete rip off. It only releases and does not have the capability to automatically retract and close the perch. You still have to do or manually. It’s mechanical piece that’s not even digital so the setting is not easy at all. This unit is a fail. It should be $20.

Worked as describe.

Very well constructed and shipping container was even better

The best thing that ever been made!!

I built a new coop an have ( 2 ) 4' nesting boxes. The chickens moved in and on their own started using the nesting boxes. Excellent product and very easy to assemble.

Works Great! Chickens started laying in it right way!

Awesome clean eggs every time thanks

Very nice box

i really really love it i have bought other size's and i love them just as well only one thing they are a little pricey

Great concept just wish it worked for my birds. Only a few would use it, the rest started laying anywhere but the nest box after previously only using their old nest box. We tried all of the methods to get the chickens to use it, but were unsuccessful. Chickens are just too stubborn.

I’m really hoping I can eventually amend this review. I had hens eating eggs so I went all in and bought these. Now, none of my hens will use the box at all. I’m trying all the tips and tricks on training them but after a week, my efforts do not seem to be working. I have 12 hens and have gotten 4 eggs in a week. However, it was easy to assemble and seems to be a great design!

This is amazing! They figured it out quickly, and we have beautifully clean eggs that are easy to collect! LOvE!!

Great boxes and well constructed

Works as advertised!

Such a great product. Loved the option to have the egg retrieval either in front or back. Eggs come out clean.

Box was easy enough to assemble but some of the pieces arrived bent. Was able to bend them back, but was a little disappointed considering the packaging did not appear damaged.

This unit is made in Europe and I am in America unable to contact technical support via phone support. My issue is the batteries, I bought this on April 25, 2023 and the unit keeps telling me that my batteries only have 3-9 % remains life. I have installed 2 brand new sets of 4 AA batteries including the set of batteries that comes with the unit. This is a very expensive mistake to buy for those who are in the US. Beware.

We just assembled and installed our large nest box. We were impressed with the quality of manufacturing and shipping, no defects or problems at all with the nest box or issues with install. Right away, happy with our purchase. Pullets not laying yet, to comment on rollaway egg function, but betting on it working just fine. Will be easy to adjust if needed.

Very pleased with fit and finish. Wish everyone would take as much pride in the things that they manufacture as it seems you all have. My birds have yet to lay an egg in it, however I’m confident that it will work when they do start laying.

Great nest box, keeps the eggs clean, easy to incorporate into any chicken system.

So far so good! Just waiting to see if the ladies use it when they get old enough! Love the way it looks, construction is solid. Easy to put together! Come on ladies!!!! 🐓

I love this for the aspect of clean eggs. It took over a month for the hens to get used to it and I still have a couple hens who just plop it out on the floor as opposed to using the box. It is worth the wait though so patience is key if you are switching from other nesting boxes to this one. I also taped back the red flaps because no one would go in. Once I did that, a few of the girls started going in and then others followed suit over time. It is great having clean eggs!

We really love our best next box; as a matter of fact this one is our second one. We built our hens a summer home :) otherwise known as a mobile coop for moving on fresh grass in the summer months. The roll away feature has really improved egg cleanliness and quality. No cracks or holes in the eggs! Thank you best nest!

They are good

Top notch units
